Punugulu - 1

Pungulu is one of the simple snack item. They can be made N number of ways. They come in handy when there is any left over batter(like idli or dosa batter) in the fridge. Today I am posting one version of Punuglu which can be served on their own with no chutney or pickle needed.

I made garelu yesterday and had some left over batter. So I decided to make punugulu. Below is the entire process from scratch for making this version.

Method

Soak Urad dal in water over night. In a mixer/grinder grind the urad dal, 3 green chillies, ginger and salt, without adding water to little bit tight/thick paste. Grind in batches.
Take the batter into a bowl and add onions, cumin seeds, chopped green chillies, rice flour, All purpose flour, baking soda and coriander leaves. Mix well.
Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan or kadai. Take a small amount of batter(small lemon sized), form into a ball and drop gently into hot oil and fry till golden brown.

Take them out and drain them on a paper towel. Serve them hot. Yum!! I wish you guys are here to taste these along with me :).

This is one recipe that jogs my childhood memories. People from coastal Andhra especially from village background will for sure be familiar with this Pullattu. There are lot of versions of how to make this tasty dosa.
I almost forgot about this item until one of our friend's mom made this for us for breakfast recently. I asked for the recipe from her and here I am posting it for you ..Special Thanks to aunty :)
